Spider-Man is back and breaking records again at the box office! No Way Home not only marks a full trilogy for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but also opens new paths (literally) for the MCU in Phase 4. It's got loads of iconic villains and characters, like Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Doctor Strange, but also aims to give Peter Parker a capstone to his three movie MCU origin story and a fresh start for the character going forward. The question is: Does it work? Let's talk about it!

Words cannot fully capture how excited I was to see Alfred Molina, Willem Defoe, and even Jamie Foxx coming back as Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and Electro. And there's so much more to this movie! But does Spider-Man No Way Home balance all these villains better than previous attempts? (*ahem* Spider-Man 3 *ahem*) What about the rumored return of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire? How does the filmmaking hold up, separate from the comic book fan-service? We cover all that in this Spider-Man review, too. Seriously, why are you still reading this? Watch my reaction and then, let's talk in the comments!

More reviews are coming in 2022! We'll be settled in with kiddo #2 by then, and I've got way more content in the works, so stay tuned.
